Pryncess I like my music extraa loud and u don't have that choice to turn it up or down...but it's cool ig

Great app for Nexus 5 Just upgraded from Galaxy S3 to Nexus 5. I love the pure Google experience, but one thing I did miss was the one touch access to the volume control. This app solves that problem and more. Great job!

A Most Used App This app is one of the best things I've added to my phone. I use it several times daily. Makes it so much easier to make sure EVERYTHING is on silent or to bring all volumes up to an equal level that is appropriate to where I happen to be at the time. It's particularly helpful for me since I often watch streaming video with the volume all the way up while keeping everything else on silent and this app allows me to bring that volume back down any time afterwards with a few taps of the widget.

There are plenty of volume widgets that will show you the volume and take you to the volume settings when you tap them. But, very few actually let you adjust the volume using the widget itself.

This volume control widget shows the volume and actually lets you adjust it. Simple, easy to use, no need to enter the settings. It's exactly what you're looking for when you search the market for a volume widget.

If you like this widget, check out the donation version!

NOTE: On Android 3.0 and higher, the widget may not show up in the widget menu immediately after install. Restarting your launcher or rebooting your device should fix it. This is a known Android problem, and there is nothing I can do about it.

Persist Volume Control is an amazing app that lets you take control of your device’s volume – instead of being controlled by it!

Here’s what the reviewers are saying:

★ “Persist is a new contender that's one of the most powerful we've seen, and comes with tons of options”. – LifeHacker (http://lifehacker.com/persist-for-android-offers-total-control-over-your-volu-1151275713)

★ “Useful widgets, you can switch from one preference to another in just a click” – App of the Day

HOW IT WORKSPersist Volume Control is extremely easy to use. Simply tweak existing or create new pre-defined volume profiles, and toggle between them with just a single touch. Individual profiles are comprised of: Alarm, Media, Ringer, Notification, Voice (in-call), Bluetooth and overall system volume.

AUTOMATED CONVENIENCEPersist Volume Control also detects when you insert headphones or activate Bluetooth, and automatically toggles to your preferred volume profile. You can even create automatic scheduled presets based on time of day, physical location, or a calendar event.For example, if you plan heading into a business meeting, simply tell the app to turn off your ringer at precisely that time. Of if you're heading for a workout, tell the app to pump up the volume when you arrive at the fitness club. The list of possibilities is virtually limitless!

ADDITIONAL SPECIAL FEATURESHere are some of the other special features you can look forward to:- Custom volume settings and ringtones for VIP contacts- The option of separating or linking ringer volume and notification volume - The ability to change ringtones for alarm, ringer and notifications- Notification shortcuts for quick and easy access to controls and presets - Integration with Tasker and Locale via the built-in preset plugin

INTERACTIVE WIDGETSYou can also access a fantastic suite of fully interactive Home Screen widgets, including:- Preset (apply a set of audio settings);- Preset List (apply any preset)- Volume Locker (change/lock volume levels)- Vibrate (toggle vibrate settings for ringer and notification)- Ringer (toggle the ringer mode between silent, vibrate, and normal) - Dashboard (various interactive volume controls)Please note: to access the widgets, the app should not be installed to your SD card. Some Android versions may require a reboot for widgets to appear on your widget drawer.

Preset auto-detectionThis feature allows presets to be automatically adjusted according to the music that is being played. Let's say that you're listening to some Alternative Rock music, by default, Bass Booster will automatically choose the Rock preset, but if you create a custom "Rock" preset, yours will be selected. But it goes even further ! For example, you could create a "Punk Rock" preset and a "Hard Rock" preset and they would be automatically selected. (Android 2.3.3+) You can also create a preset specifically for a song, album or artist and it will be auto-detected next time you play a matching song.

Auto-detection requires to use : - A compatible player - Locally stored and tagged audio files

Players that support auto-detection : - The stock player by Google - Google Play Music - Player Pro (recommended) - JetAudio Player - RealPlayer - Poweramp - Rocket Music Player - NRG Player - Music Folder Player - MortPlayer - TTPod Music Mod - Meridian - ³ (Cubed) - DoubleTwist (enable Last.FM scrobbling in DoubleTwist) - Winamp (enable Scrobbling and install the Last.FM app)This list is not complete : other media players may work.If your player doesn't work, try to enable Last.FM Scrobbling in the settings of your media player. For Winamp and some others players, you have to install Last.FM. If it still doesn't work, drop us a mail !

Permissions - Read phone state : To automatically set a preset if there's an incoming call. - Read external storage : Needed for preset auto-detection on some devices - Record audio : To show the visualizer

Want to better learn how to relax and find some stress relief? Stress Reduction-Audio contains two guided relaxation techniques to guide you through the process of becoming more fully relaxed. Some people find these techniques helpful for getting to sleep at night. Additionally, the app includes a number of peaceful nature sounds that may be used to help fall asleep.

This free version of the app includes ads and streams the audio from the Internet (so data rates may apply from your carrier if not using Wifi). The Full version allows you to download the full audio files to your device rather than streaming them from a remote server, and does not contain ads.

As a clinical psychologist and hobby Android developer, I wanted to combine the two skills to write an app that may be of benefit to many. The world is a stressful place, and one component of coping with that stress is learning how to more fully relax. I have included two relaxation strategies that I frequently use with my psychotherapy clients.

Two relaxation techniques are included along with a peaceful and relaxing background music.

1. Relax and Breathe - Walks you through relaxing all the muscles in your body combined with a deep breathing exercise. (7 minutes and 40 seconds)

2. Relax and Visualize - This technique is a mildly self-hypnotic procedure that includes relaxing your muscles, mind, and visualizing a peaceful scene. This is often a favorite. (15 minutes)

I include two techniques, because some people find they can more effectively utilize one technique over the other. Also, having one with a shorter play time helps when you need to relax, but are under time pressure.

If you have any problems with this app, don't hesitate to contact me at support@mindware.mobi.

Enjoy, and I hope this brings you a little peace in a hectic world.

Note: These techniques are not intended to treat any emotional or physical condition. Rather, this app is intended for people who want to learn one of many techniques for coping with the stress of everyday living. If recommended by a psychotherapist, it may be used as a part of a larger treatment program.

Vocabulary Star is a unique and fun word scramble game. Want to improve your vocabulary in an enjoyable way? With enough practice, this game will help you do that. With a database of nearly 5000 words at the high school to college reading level, you can improve your word knowledge.

Each trial will display the definition of a word. Below the definition is 4 buttons that has parts of the word in a scrambled order. Your job is to tap the buttons in the correct order to spell out the word that fits the definition. You can obtain 2 points on each trial. One point for getting the word correct, and a bonus point for getting it correct without any errors.

Track and graph your score history and compete against others on an online global scoreboard.

Vocabulary Star is also a great way to prepare for college entrance examines such as the SAT.

As a first of its kind, My Fishing Journal Widget offers widget-based access for quickly logging catches. This app places a priority on quickly logging catches so you can spend more time fishing! This is a full featured trial version that allows you to log 8 fish. If you like the app, purchase the unlocker to unlock the app to be able to add a virtually unlimited number of fish.

Get the unlocker here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mindware.fishwidgetunlockbeta

** Long press on home screen to install widget **

Trial Version

This trial version has the full set of features for the app. It is limited to logging 8 fish. Instead of having a Trial and Full version, there is an app for unlocking the trial version that allows you to add a virtually unlimited number of fish. The advantage of an unlocking app is that your data is preserved, and you get to try out all of the features of the app.

My Fishing Widget has several innovative features:

Home Screen Widget

Two widget sizes are available (4x3 and 1x1). To my knowledge this is the only widget for logging catches for fisherman.

Fish Counts

The widget displays a count of your total number of fish logged. The count updates based on the filter you have applied.

Filtering System

Innovative filtering system allows you to filter fish based on many different factors (Fish type, place caught, technique used, and date parameters).

Defining Fishing Places

Places allow you to set up places that you fish. The zoom level that you set works with the filter so that when you filter by a place (such as Patoka Lake for instance), that it will include only fish that have a GPS location within that recorded view. This is incredibly useful for displaying how many fish you have caught at a particular place and displaying this information on a map. Setting up places also allows you to quickly access weather for the fishing place.

Innovative Mapping

Map clustering through the mapping feature clusters catches together in a single marker when catches are near each other. It will put a count of the catches on the cluster marker. Simply click on the cluster to zoom in and see exactly where the fish were.

My Live Well

The Live Well displays detailed information on your catches. If unfiltered, it will show all your catches. If filtered (by Largemouth Bass for instance), it will display only the fish that meet the filter criteria. The Live Well allows you to perform many functions.

Photo Album

The Photo Album is also innovative in that it categorizes fish by fish type and only includes fish based on your filter. So, if you want to look at pictures of Largemouth Bass that you caught at Patoka Lake in the last 3 days, simply apply this filter and open the photo album! If unfiltered, you can get a quick count of all the different types of fish you have caught by simply opening the photo album.

Weather

You can quickly access current weather conditions and forecasts through the National Weather Service through the widget. Additionally, you can quickly choose any of your fishing places to get the weather at that location.

The Quick Volume Widget eliminates the need to go through menus when you want to change sound levels of your phone. With the widget running, just simply press the widget to quickly change volume states. Now with version 2+, you can quickly access all the volume quick settings from the notification area. This is very useful when you are running another app and want to change the sound levels without leaving the app. You can also toggle Wifi and Bluetooth states from within the app.
